Integer division with decimals

What's the proper way to do "integer" divisions with decimal types in C# ?

I.e. 

 decimal a = 130, b  = 60;
 decimal res = a / b; //need to get 2.0, not 2.6666

You can use Decimal.Truncate(a / b);

Decimal.Truncate() "rounds" towards zero, and is thus like Math.Floor() for positive numbers and Math.Ceiling() for negative numbers.

decimal a = 130, b = 60;

decimal res = Math.Floor(a/b);

In this case I'd use the Floor function.

decimal res = Math.Floor(a / b);
